Engagement

Even a well-researched and well-planned program cannot achieve success without employee participation and active engagement. Your employees, and your business, will not receive any benefit if employees do not think the program is meaningful for them, personally, and believe they will gain from the experience. Thus, a successful health promotion program is one where people do more than simply “participate” – they need to feel engaged in a worthy endeavor where one’s personal mission aligns with that of the organization. Here are some ways to achieve high engagement by employees.
